In the fall, when the immune system becomes especially vulnerable, many people turn to the Internet in search of advice on how to strengthen the immune system.
Typically, such articles contain general recommendations: experts advise taking vitamin C, getting enough sleep, and drinking enough fluids.
Today we suggest forgetting about the common truths: in this article you will find specific products that can help strengthen the immune system and increase the overall tone of the body. Spoiler: it is not honey with lemons.
Black radish
This vegetable contains defensin, an antimicrobial peptide that strengthens cellular immunity and protects the body from infections.
Radish can be eaten raw - in this form it can be added to a salad, but the best option is considered to be the vegetable in fermented form.
Fermented beetroot
In fermented beets, you'll find betalains and anthocyanins, antioxidants that help recover from oxidative stress, disease, and infection.
Another advantage of this root vegetable is that it is rich in probiotics and has a positive effect on the functions performed by the gallbladder, liver and intestines.
Black garlic
Compared to regular garlic, the black variety has more flavonoids, alkaloids, and dietary fiber, but less sugar. You can love it at least because it tastes like fruit marmalade.
You can eat it raw or add it to other dishes.
